Do you always have time to cook meals from scratch?

No? Me neither!

But, you still want healthy meals on those days, right?

Yep, me too!

On days like that, store-bought is your best friend. But, read the packaging and choose correctly. Avoid foods that contain trans fats (e.g. hydrogenated vegetable oil). That are high in refined sugar (>10g per seving). And that are high in saturated fat (>5g per 100g).

My tortellini soup is straightforward to make. The main ingredients you need are tortellini (any variety will do), vegetables, tofu (or any other protein), and vegetable or chicken broth. The recipe is pefectly balanced with carbohydrates, protein and fat, such that its glycaemic load is 0. Simply put, it has a negligible effect on your blood sugar levels.
